Cable code indentifier

Can someone confirm the conductor size of this 3core SWA cable.
I know its N2XH-J cable type
Too many other numbers for me to figure out conductor size ..... I am not physically with cable, so trying to figure out conductor size.

It says 3 x 2.5

That’s 3 core 2.5mm cable.

OK .. that is the way the numbering works, there were so many numbers & letters on there was not sure.
I thought first off 0.6/1kV was getting me what I wanted but figured out that was wrong.
Thanks for the clarification.

0.6/1kV was getting me what I wanted

600V AC maximum voltage rating between conductor and ground. 1kV AC maximum rating between conductors

As a generally rule conductor size and number are grouped together on cables. You have the number of conductors, a G or X, and then the size of the conductors in square millimetres. G is used if one of the conductors is green/yellow, X otherwise.

In mainland Europe they use a comma instead of a period as a decimal seperator.

As others have said 0.6/1kV is the voltage rating, in the UK we normally write it as 600/1000V, but it's pretty obviously the same thing just in a different unit. First number is the max voltage relative to ground, second is the max voltage between conductors.

Dunno what the other numbers mean.

What is puzzling me slightly is that when I google n2xh-j I get non-armoured cables...........

I didn't spot the 3 x 2.5 due to extra spaces ... 3x2 . 5RE didn't see it as 2.5
